As far as I know Florida does not test at all.


I looked and they did stop it based on the air quality measurements.
It used to just be the big cities (Orlando, Jax, Tambay and the SE
coast)



I was surprised that Florida didn't require an emissions or safety
inspection at all back in 2001 when we first bought a house down there.

Massachusetts used to have a yearly safety and emissions test that
included putting your car on a dynamometer and measuring the emissions
from the exhaust system at various speeds and loads. The state did away
with the active emission test a few years ago and now just rely
on the computer read out from the OBD. Still have to undergo a
general safety inspection every year though. Lights, ball joints,
tires, exhaust, etc.
